Note to former Clinton officials- Shut the F— Up.:
US President George W. Bush’s foreign policy “is not good for America, not good for the world,” Madeleine Albright, the former US secretary of state under Bill Clinton’s presidency, told French radio.
In an interview with the Europe 1 station Albright heavily criticised the actions of the Republican leadership that replaced the Democratic administration she worked for, and notably the “chaos” that reigns in Iraq.
“America is much stronger in a multilateral system, we must be on the same side, work with other people in the world. It shouldn’t be America versus the others,” Albright said, speaking in French.
“It’s difficult to be in France and criticise my government. But I’m doing so because Bush and the people working for him have a foreign policy that is not good for America, not good for the world,” she said.
Yeah, it must be REALLY difficult to criticize the United States while relaxing in Paris. Has to be KILLING you. BTW, Ms. Albright- when are we going to have elections in Kosovo? This graf just infuriates me:
On Iraq, Albright said “I fear that there really is chaos there. We don’t know what’s going to happen. One or two Americans a day are killed.”
Bush’s insistence before and after the war that Saddam Hussein had ties to Osama bin Laden failed to convince her — “I didn’t really think that there was a link” — but, she said, the situation was getting to a point that Iraq was becoming a magnet for anti-US militants.
HUNH? Bush’s insistence that Osama and Hussein were tied together? Did I miss something?
Every time I am so damn sick and tired of Republicans (like I was about 2-3 weeks ago), the Democrats just start saying and doing whatever the hell they think they have to in order to get elected, and it invariably pushes me back to the GOP. Why can’t there be a viable Libertarian party?

That’ll be enough dissent-stifling, John.
Fascist.

It wasn’t Bush; it was Cheney, speaking on behalf of the Bush Administration. This definitely constitutes a reportorial error, but one of degree, not of kind.
